Overview

Checks for consistent usage of the DateTime class over the Time class. This cop is disabled by default since these classes, although highly overlapping, have particularities that make them not replaceable in certain situations when dealing with multiple timezones and/or DST.

Examples:

# bad - uses {DateTime} for current time
DateTime.now

# good - uses {Time} for current time
Time.now

# bad - uses {DateTime} for modern date
DateTime.iso8601('2016-06-29')

# good - uses {Time} for modern date
Time.iso8601('2016-06-29')

# good - uses {DateTime} with start argument for historical date
DateTime.iso8601('1751-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)

AllowCoercion: false (default)

# bad - coerces to {DateTime}
something.to_datetime

# good - coerces to {Time}
something.to_time

AllowCoercion: true

# good
something.to_datetime

# good
something.to_time

Cop Safety Information:

  • Autocorrection is not safe, because DateTime and Time do not have exactly the same behavior, although in most cases the autocorrection will be fine.

Instance Method Summary

::RuboCop::Cop::Base - Inherited

#add_global_offense

Adds an offense that has no particular location.
#add_offense

Adds an offense on the specified range (or node with an expression) Unless that offense is disabled for this range, a corrector will be yielded to provide the cop the opportunity to autocorrect the offense.
#begin_investigation

Called before any investigation.
#callbacks_needed,
#cop_config

Configuration Helpers.
#cop_name, #excluded_file?,
#external_dependency_checksum

This method should be overridden when a cop’s behavior depends on state that lives outside of these locations:
#inspect,
#message

Gets called if no message is specified when calling add_offense or add_global_offense Cops are discouraged to override this; instead pass your message directly.
#name

Alias for Base#cop_name.
#offenses,
#on_investigation_end

Called after all on_…​
#on_new_investigation

Called before all on_…​
#on_other_file

Called instead of all on_…​
#parse

There should be very limited reasons for a Cop to do it’s own parsing.
#parser_engine,
#ready

Called between investigations.
#relevant_file?, #target_rails_version, #target_ruby_version, #annotate, #apply_correction, #attempt_correction,
#callback_argument

Reserved for Cop::Cop.
#complete_investigation

Called to complete an investigation.
